Prosperous Montana.

ST. PAUL, June 24.-Col E. Y. Smalley,
editor of the Northwest Magazine has re-
turned to st. Paul after three weeks trip

JAKE SHARPE CONVICTED.
The New York Millionaire Found
Guilty of Bribery on the First
Ballot

NEW YORK, June 29.-The thirty-fourth
and last day of the Sharpe trial dawned
bright and clear. The aged defendant
shuffled into the court at one door as Judge
Barrett came in at another. The defendant
looked much more feeble than usual,
walking with great difficulty to his place.
Col Fellows, for the state, addressed the
jury, reviewing the case and evidence at
length. After he closed, Judge Barrett
proceeded to charge the jury. He began
by saying that this was the first time in the
history of our jurisprudence that a man
had been made to face the charge of giving
bribe Both to give and receive bribes
were crimes. The court gave the law on
bribery and went on to say that it had been
proved on direct evidence that money had
been given; that one Delacy had given
money. 1t is not necessary that the person
charged give the money with his own hand.
Delacy is the fountain head, and all who
are proven to be connected, near to or far
away from the fountain head, are guilty.
If Delacy received the money from Rich
mond, and Richmond again from Sharpe,
then Sharpe is guilty. If Sharpe had
guilty knowledge and aided and abetted in
any way, then he is guilty. The Judge be-
lieved it had been clearly shown that
Fullgraff was bribed. II the jury believ-
ed that Delacy bribed him with $4,000,
then the jury must ask who bribed Delacy.
ANY person whe was behind Delacy in the
matter was as guilty. There is abundant
evidence that there were falsifed entries
by Sharpe himself. The jury must deter
mine whether Sharpe had any connection
with fixing the alderman or whether his
use of that expression was an innocent one.
The Judge further instructed the jury that
they must not be influenced by the prison
er's age or intirmity, nor by the fact that
he did not take the stand in his own de-
fense The jury then retired and after an
absence of thirteen minutes returned with
verdict of guilty, with q recommends
ton OF mercy. The aged prisoners head
dropped and he was removed to jail
Sentence will be passed July 13. The
penalty is not more than ten years at hard
labor or a fine of $4,000, or both. A new
trial will be asked The verdict was reach
ed on the first ballot. AS Sharpe stepped
on the walk on his arrival at the Jail he
said: "Boys, now its all over, I'll tell you
that I never gave one penny to Alder
man Fullgraff or any other alderman, and
had no hand in bribing the aldermen"
With this the old man seemed to break
down,

Hints About Horses.

Unless the farm is very stony and the
roads rough, steep and hard, take off the
shoes at this season and let the hoof get
some natural growth. tits waste of time
and money to shoe plough-team Or farm
team in the summer.
ll-fitting collars are the bane of farm
teams; they divert the line of draft and
bruise the shoulders; they set loosely and
chafe the neck Too often the collars are
too long. In this case the zinc collar
pads will shorten the collar and prevent
bruising the neck. Muddy legs irritate the
skin and produce the pustular inflama-
ton known as grease. This is more easily
prevented than cured.
Wash the legs and rub them dry whenever
the horses come in wet and muddy. Giy-
cerine is the best emolIient for the skin,
but more so because it is easily procured.
Crude petroleum is antiseptie, emollient
and hea ling, and thus prevents poisoning
of the skin, softens it and prevents heat
ing and inflammation and cures disease
when want Of care produces this too COM
mon result.
Friction with woolen rubber, either
dry or wet as the case may be, is excellent
for the skin, and fifteen minutes spent
every day in rubbing horse will be well
employed.
For all kinds of vermin rub the hair,
not the skin, with brush or sponge
moistened with kerosene and glycerine in
equal parts.

The terrible tumble given Manhattan
stock settled all questions as to the pur-
pose of the precious pair, and the convic-
tions thus formed were made indisputable
when, early in the panicky time of Fri
day, one of Fields personal brokers had
to go begging around the street for an ex-
tension of his contracts. No hint of this
has been made public. Had it been an
nounced during the troublous scores of
the stock exchange, sweeping panic
could not have been stayed. The general
ly accepted belief is that Field has been
obliged to seek Gould's favor by swapping
big block of Manhattan stock for needed
money. Fifty thousand shares of stock, it
is said, have been given up to Gould, who
has thus acquired control of the Manhat-
tan Elevated Railroad Company.
